Isn't C-Wood a Jordan Brand Athlete too?

 

[ciscokid]

Yup

That hit was savage. I was speechless in the stands while everyone else was going crazy

 

[oaklandca]

Reggie McKenzie took an AK-47 approach for years and found gems through the draft to really solidify his position as GM.

He was very patient, very patient as was Mark with a lot of players and coaches and gave everyone opportunities.

Reggie I doubted you, but man these three years really came by fast and are really starting to take shape for once. 

This team is no longer the joke of the league and people are actually starting to respect, take us seriously.

People criticizing the play calling at the end of the 4th, I think Musgrave is looking for the middle ground of the Bears 4th Q fumble to the too aggressive play calling of the Jets 4th Q...

I knew our run D was pretty damn good, but I thought Ivory would be somewhat successful on us...that boy got NOTHIN lol 15 attempts for 17 yards 

 1.1 YPA

Maybe they believe in letting the clock run itself out with sustained drives by both teams and a sizable lead with 8 to go. That could be my only guess. It just seems very risky with teams who won't/don't mind coming back for more on the board.

Can't be letting good teams linger during the 4th quarter. Teams with a good qb will come snatch the win away from you

#Raiders Derek Carr has improved ypa from 5.5 to 7.8. That's biggest jump from rookie year to year 2 since merger

Per @PFF, Woodson has allowed 8 completions in coverage while intercepting 5 passes and defending another #Raiders

This guy is a legend. I pray he comes back next year to a team fully prepped for a playoff run.

 

[Tigron]

Why wait a whole year?
The time is now my friend.

 

[albooboo]

We should go after Weddle.

This team is learning how to close out games on the fly. The Bears and Broncos we let them get away with wins. Now the Chargers and jets we held them off. The next step is closing games.

Imagine what McGloin could do in this system

 

[HNL HI]

he could what he's currently doing in this system...sitting on the bench.

 

[a one]

YO! We made the top 10 in this weeks ESPN Power Rankings.

So ******* proud man. 

 

[willie mcfly22]

That's awesome! Jack really got these boys playin well. Such a great feeling. Really hope this is the beginning of a great era for the Raiders...

Sounds of the game: week 8 vs Jets

[Johnny_Cakes]

We're -4.5 dogs against Pitt, which I understand. Over/under sits at 47.5, which I think is a lot given that the Steelers have a solid defense too.

 

[willie mcfly22]

We put pressure on Big Ben and his knee and don't turn the ball over, we can get the W

 

[oaklandca]

Art Shell's return seems so long ago
